Thanks x 2. And even tho I spice them up, I do think the Batman with mask is legit in real world. And I didn't until I opened him. That's a sleeper.

I don't think the team over there is coming from the statue front for mainline DCM anymore, but it seems like they are still struggling with how to balance articulation with design elements. I also think their articulation is kinda using the same format now, same tech and places, but unique per figure. Sometimes that starting point for cutting it up doesn't work with the sculpt. And I assume they have limited time to get it all done, because they are cranking these things out. So we get some sub-par ones due to all that.

Side eye - as he said design choice. I dig that, as a second head, any time. It does spice up photography, and could work on shelf in some scenarios. But I do not support it if it is the only head in a pack.

Other angle - go with a Figuarts style and offer face "plates" that swap out, without doing full heads. Give us more eye sets.
